Crypto Group Claims Responsibility for Hurling Sex Toys at WNBA Games; Plans More 'Pranks'

UNITED STATES, AUG 7 – The Green Dildo Coin group coordinated six incidents as a protest against crypto market control, with their meme coin rising 309% in value over the past week, spokesman said.

  • A cryptocurrency group launched Green Dildo Coin on July 28 and claimed responsibility for throwing green sex toys at multiple WNBA games in late July and early August 2025.
  • The group said the acts are a coordinated protest against a 'toxic' crypto environment and denied any intent to disrespect women athletes, amid at least six known incidents in cities including Atlanta, Los Angeles, and Phoenix.
  • Two individuals, one a 23-year-old man in Georgia and the other 18-year-old Kaden Lopez in Phoenix, were arrested on multiple charges related to throwing sex toys at games, though the group disavowed any connection to them.
  • The group's spokesman stated they plan more pranks that will be lighter and more tasteful to shift crypto culture, aiming to create disruption and get media attention without harming anyone.
  • WNBA leaders condemned the disruptions, emphasizing player safety and criticizing the sexualization of women, while the meme coin surged nearly 309% in value in the prior week amid high trading volumes.
